Application Navigator search function restriction

[NeilOliver]

Hi,

Has anyone restricted access to the "type filter text" search bar in the application navigator, I am in the process of rolling out a self service style read only view of customer incidents and requests but want to restrict any "back door" access to what I don't want them to see.
I've restricted all the relevant forms to allow write function to only those users with a role affiliated to them but if a non role affiliated customer knows to type change_request.list into the search field it allows them access to the change request form bypassing my ACL rules.

What I would like to do is be able to remove the search filter from their view of the or restrict the ability to access *.list and *.form for all without a role association.
I have noticed that the switch perspective selector is restricted to only those with heightened priveleges so it would be ideal to do something similar for the search field.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Neil.

There is an OOTB global UI Script (deactivated by default): NavFilterExtension - If it returns true, no more nav filtering is done for current keystroke. Maybe here you could start more in-depth customization adapted to your needs.

Thanks very much, I found that shortly after posting this and wondered if it would do the job. I need to figure out how to customize this to make it work now.
